Just months after his preposterous fake appearance in Ultimates 3, the real Venom is back. We open on Eddie Brock sitting on a park bench when a little old lady comes and sits next to him. He introduces himself and says he\u2019s hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further ruining Bendis\u2019 weird assertion that the PS2 game is canon, Eddie flashes back to his sole previous encounter with Peter, from USM 33<\/a>, how he seemingly got vaporized in a flash of light. He wonders if he\u2019s dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not the same lady he was talking to before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As in the game, he\u2019s learning that being near Peter makes him feel more whole, but it\u2019s not the game. Then there\u2019s a protracted flashback to Silver Sable and her Wild Pack trying and failing to capture Venom, which goes vaguely like it did in the game, but not, and also Silver is wearing the suit Bags came up with when she appeared in the comic later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddie was accosted by security, trying to make him leave. As he got closer, he felt better and Peter felt worse. Then he became Venom and went smashing through a window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, yeah, Bendis kind of repurposed bits of the game for the previous Silver Sable story, and now he\u2019s using the rest of it. Like it never happened. But he says it did. I\u2019m confused. Wait\u2019ll you see next issue\u2019s cover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
